(2) How to subscribe to ChatGPT Plus (2026) in mainland China: Wildcard, OneKey, Dupay, Wise and Bewild comparisons


If you are in mainland China and do not have a Visa/MasterCard credit card that supports international payment, I hope this article can help you take many detours.

This is not a simple tutorial, but I have tried various schemes from scratch, kept stepping on the pit, and finally successfully subscribed to the complete record of ChatGPT Plus.


Why did you decide to buy ChatGPT Plus?

I have been using chatgpt almost every day for the past few months.

Mainly used for:

  • WordPress Technology Blog Writing
  • Chinese and English article translation
  • SEO optimization
  • Go / PHP development
  • Linux operation and maintenance
  • Google AdSense revenue optimization
  • AI tool research

Although the free version is already very easy to use, as blog operations become more and more dependent on AI, it is often encountered:

Before your quota is reset, you will use a model with a less performance.

So, I decided to officially subscribe to ChatGPT Plus.


First stop: Wildcard

The first thing I thought of was the Wildcard recommended by many people in the past.

Figure 1: Wildcard Home
Figure 1: Wildcard Home

After opening, it is found that the page has changed.

The original AI subscription service has been suspended, leaving only two entrances:

  • Wildcard Subscribe to AI services (suspended)
  • Want to subscribe to ChatGPT/Claude?

In other words, Wildcard no longer directly provides the previous AI services.


Second stop: OneKey card

Now that Wildcard has been suspended, keep looking for other virtual cards.

The first thing that comes to mind is OneKey Card.

As a result, I just opened the official website and prepared to register, and I encountered the first problem.

Figure 3: Registration temporarily unavailable. We will be back soon.
Figure 3: Registration temporarily unavailable. We will be back soon.

That is:

OneKey Card has been suspended for opening registration.

This road is directly unreasonable.


The third stop: dupay

Since OneKey doesn’t work, keep trying Dupay.

Unexpectedly, the result is more direct.

The entire DuPay service has been terminated.

A very popular solution, but also officially withdrawn from the stage of history.


Fourth stop: Wise

Many foreign tutorials will recommend WISE.

So, I registered and checked the related functions of Wise.

Finally found:

Figure 5: Wise China Regional Restrictions
Figure 5: Wise China Regional Restrictions

For users in mainland China:

It is no longer possible to apply for the WISE Debit Card.

That is:

Even if the account can be registered, the bank card used to pay for ChatGPT is not obtained.


Fifth stop: Payforchat

Later, I learned about another platform:

PayForChat.

So, I made a price comparison again.

Figure 6: Payforchat is more expensive than Bewild, about $3 a month
Figure 6: Payforchat is more expensive than Bewild, about $3 a month

After a simple calculation, it is found that:

If just subscribe to ChatGPT Plus,

Payforchat is more expensive than Bewild every month 3 dollars.

Therefore, this plan was also given up by me.


Final choice: Bewild

After tossing around,

Finally back to the platform where Wildcard jumps past:

bewild.

Figure 7: Bewild Home
Figure 7: Bewild Home

Currently supported:

  • ChatGPT Plus
  • chatgpt pro
  • claude
  • Gemini
  • x Premium

Although the price is a little more expensive than the official:

Official:

$20/month

bewild:

$24.99/month

But at least:

Support WeChat payment,

It is much more convenient for domestic users.


How to choose a package?

After entering, you can see:

Figure 8: Optional Plus, Pro
Figure 8: Optional Plus, Pro

For me,

Plus is enough for daily use.

Therefore, there is no choice for a higher-priced Pro.


Then continue to select the subscription cycle.

Figure 9: I chose 3 months plus
Figure 9: I chose 3 months plus

I also struggled here for a while.

If you buy directly:

1 month:

$24.99

Instead, choose:

After a 3-month package,

Convert down:

About every month Around $22.

equivalent to:

Save about every month 3 dollars.

So I decided to buy it directly for three months.


Then the platform popped up a description.

Figure 10: Multi-month subscription instructions

Here is a special point:

Although it has been purchased for several months at a time,

But the OpenAI backend will still be renewed monthly.

The platform just helps users to pre-store the fees for subsequent months in advance.

Don’t worry about this.


Login ChatGPT

Next, enter the account verification process.

First you need:

Figure 11: Make sure that the current browser is already logged into ChatGPT

This is very important.

Otherwise, the subsequent steps cannot continue.


Then the platform asked to open:

https://chatgpt.com/api/auth/session

and copy the page content.

Figure 12: Description of Step 3 and Step 4
Figure 12: Description of Step 3 and Step 4

When I first saw this,

In fact, I am also a little worried.

After all, you have to copy a large string of JSON data.

However, after seeing the official statement,

It is found that it just uses the current login status to generate payment authorization,

There is no requirement to enter the account password.


After opening the page:

Figure 13: Copy the JSON content returned by the page
Figure 13: Copy the JSON content returned by the page

Copy all content.

Then:

Finally:

The whole process can be completed in a few minutes.


Defray

Then go to the payment page.

Since I don’t have a credit card that supports international payment,

Finally, the payment is made directly using WeChat.

The entire payment experience is still relatively smooth.


Waiting for opening

After payment,

will not be completed immediately.

Instead, it will enter:

Figure 17: Order processing (5-15 minutes expected)
Figure 17: Order processing (5-15 minutes expected)

After a few minutes,

Refresh the page.

Finally saw:

Figure 18: Order Completed
Figure 18: Order Completed

The entire subscription process is officially over.


ChatGPT Plus has been successfully opened

Reopen ChatGPT.

The left side has been displayed:

The billing page has also been able to see:

ChatGPT Plus

and:

Automatic renewal date.

Description:

The entire subscription has been successfully completed.


an episode

Just after the upgrade is completed,

I also mistakenly assumed that PLUS didn’t take effect.

There are two reasons:

  • Always prompt:

Before your quota is reset, you will use a model with a less performance.

  • The Add picture and file button once turned gray and cannot be clicked.

After testing, it was found that:

Just need:

Create a new chat, and then switch back to the original chat.

The button immediately returned to normal.

Therefore,

This is more like the status synchronization problem of the chatgpt web page just after the upgrade,

rather than a subscription failure.


final summary

The biggest difficulty in subscribing to ChatGPT Plus this time is actually not ChatGPT itself.

The real trouble is:

How to find a payment scheme that is still available.

Up June 2026, the results of my actual test are as follows:

ProgramResult
wildcardThe original AI service has been suspended, jump to Bewild
onekey cardSuspension of registration
Dupaystopped operating
widthMainland China cannot apply for debit card
payforchatCan be used, but more expensive
bewildSuccessfully opened, support WeChat payment

For users in mainland China who do not currently have an international credit card,

Bewild should be the one with the highest success rate and the simplest process in my test.
